Society of Colonial Wars 



IN THE 



STATE OF CALIFORNIA 



1915 



San Fernando Building 



LOS ANGELES 
CALIFORNIA 



•3 







INTRODUCTORY NOTE 

The purpose of printing this little booklet and the uses to 
which it may be applied are readily apparent. It is hoped that 
it will find a cordial reception at the hands of the membership 
of the Society of Colonial Wars. 

It will compare favorably, it is believed, with the similar 
and annual booklets of the California Club, Jonathan Club, Los 
Angeles Athletic Club and other clubs of this city. 

It can be carried in the pocket or kept at a convenient place 
upon the desk, thus always at hand to give you the names and 
addresses of the membership of the Society and other informa- 
tion which you may desire to ascertain. 

The idea took form in the mind of your Governor soon after 
his election to that office and was duly presented to certain mem- 
bers of the Society who have subscribed to a fund to make this 
publication possible. As usual, it is a few who bear the burden, 
but the loyalty and enthusiasm of the subscribers are very 
gratifying. 

In due course, Mr. Pierson Worrall Banning was chosen 
as editor of the booklet, and the compilation, arrangement and 
matter included should be credited to him. He has certainly 
handled it in a splendid manner. 

Orra Eucene Monnette. 



"Had it not been for America, there had been no such thing 
as freedom left throughout the Tvhole universe." 

— Thomas Paine. 



WHY 

The Society of Colonial Wars emphasizes an honorable 
pride in ancestry. Il does nol cater to a false or foolish 
aristocrac]). The early Colonists whose records and achieve- 
ntents are preserved by il ruere the founders and maimers of the 
American CommoiMvealth. Il is worth while to l(now who they 
were and what they did. It is a justiftahle honor and proper 
distinction to establish a descent and lineage from them. Num- 
bered as they were among the genuine Cavaliers, nobler men of a 
fortunate race, their descendants have received through and 
from them a priceless heritage, in being born upon a favored 
conlinenl and under a patriotic flag. These descendants are 
protected by a Government founded, established and guaran- 
teed by their Colonial ancestors. Their vigor of manhood, 
purity of character, courage of convictions and high-minded 
purposes were molded and transformed into the foundations of 
the American Republic. 

Orra Eugene Monnette.
